Members noted that there are no mauka lands purchased to date. Member Ogin asked how PONC determines what uses are permissible on acquired sites. Tomich explained that 1 allowable uses are up to the community to propose uses. He also explained that the fund can also acquire trails. In response to a question as to whether a land survey is required prior to a land or trail acquisition, he stated that surveys, or a proper legal description, is necessary to process a purchase.
